What the Waves Said.
From Washington Letter TO the BdltiDt
American

From Washington Letter TO the Baltimore
4m2ricGR.
The following story on Second Assistant
Postmaster General Knott is too good to be
lost and Mr. Knott himself is too keen a
humorist to be wanting in appreciation of
it. As is well known, Mr.. Knott aspires to
be Governor of Maryland of which laud-
able ambition he makes no secret. Some
time ago he went to Atlantic City for
several days, and one evening, when the
tide was low-''so the story runs'-he took
a walk along the seashore Yielding TO the
irresistible influence of his surroundings, he
gave himself up TO the sentimental part Of
his nature, and as he looked out upon the
ocean and then upon the waves that broke
unsteady at his feet, he thoughtfully
paused and traced some letters in the sand
A gentleman who sat upon the porch of one
of the hotels came along after him and read
the inscription. 1t was:
"What are the wild waves sayingw He,
too, paused a moment, and when Mr.. Knott
returned that way he saw Immediately
under his words the following strange in
scription:
"No G. Konfort ovenrort.."
He looked at it carefully for some time. as
if endeavoring to decipher the unknown
characters. Then he stepped closer and put
on his glasses. Being still unable to make
uilVti puO, ne ItsttlJlC HIS isltSSs'N, ana,
taking out pencil and paper, he carefully
transcribed each letter and returned to the
hotel The first man he saw was the gentle
man who had passed along the beach behind
hun. Handing him the paper, he said:
Here's n strange inscription / found
upon the beach II while ago. What do you
think of it!N
The gentleman glanced at it moment
and replied: "Oh, some little child scratch
ed it in the sand, guess. But give it 10
me, and will see if there is anything in it. -
The paper and pencil were accordingly
handed over, while Mr.. Knott seated him
self and waited for the result. After some
moments it was handed back to him, and
by transposition of the letters read as
follows: mo Knott for Governorn An
inspection of the hotel register afterwards
revealed that the only other Marylsnder
present was well known Treasury official.
Mr.. Knott says the story is not true.

has been going ON in 81 of the A. States AMI
Territories, on 1876 lines, with the result of
adding 1874 miles of main line track to our
railway system. This is far larger show
ing of new construction than that for the
corresponding period in any previous year
excepting 1850, when nearly 5000 miles were
laid during the first six months and | ,5G3
in the year. The nearest approach to this
was in 1881, when about $500 miles were re-

Mt bis residence, No. 50 Adams street. His
death was rather sudden Although he had
been ailng some time, his relatives did not
expect that the end was SO near, but his age
was against him, SO he could not rally from
the severe and malignant attack of fever.
The deceased was born in South Reading,
Vt, in 1873, and consequently was ~ years
old He came to Jacksonville twenty-nine
years ago, and had umasSed considerable
property, which will go to his wife and four
children.
The Seminole Club of this city, which
numbers some of the leading society men in
jacksonville, has rented the handsome De
tina residence opposite the Park and will
fl it up in luxurious style. The first meet
ing of the club in its new quarters takes
place Tuesday Twelve new members will
be enrolled The SeminoleS is purely a
social organization,
